Grilled Asparagus and Green Beans

July 17, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 7 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Today I debated about sharing my recipe with you.  Sometimes I’m not sure what my readers want to see, I personally believe in a variety of different recipes because that’s what I like.  So why didn’t I want to share my recipe with you?  It’s nothing fancy, it’s just a simple side dish and I thought hmm, I don’t know?  Then the next day, I had it cold for lunch and I couldn’t believe how good it tasted.  I think the first night, I was just cranky.  You ever get in one of those crank y moods and nothing seems good enough?  That was me, one day and then the next I’m all perked up and better!  So I decided, yes I must share the recipe, it’s healthy, flavorful and so good for you, plus it uses fresh summer produce.

Grilled Asparagus with Green Beans and Roasted Tomatoes

So here is my almost never made it to my blog, Grilled Asparagus with Green Beans and Roasted Tomatoes.   As you may have seen from Instagram I have been on a major vegetable kick and after receiving  fresh green beans this past week from the CSA, I knew I must have them in my belly!!  So my first intent was green beans, but then my refrigerator is way over flowing with vegetables that I wanted to use up, plus make some space in the fridge for leftovers and other goodies.  So in came the asparagus!

Grilled Asparagus with Green Beans and Roasted Tomatoes


Asparagus and green beans make a great combo and cook relatively the same amount of time.  But I didn’t want an all green side dish, so  threw in some cherry tomatoes for some color.  I cooked everything together on the grill and man oh man!  The slight char from the asparagus and the steamed green beans with popping cherry tomatoes is so yummy.   I used some healthy, good for you lemon infused olive oil for a slight tang, and threw in some minced garlic for a little kick of flavor.  I’m telling you if you like these vegetables, combining them together is simply amazing!!  Your pallet will be very happy and so will the belly!

Grilled Asparagus with Green Beans and Roasted Tomatoes

For the asparagus, I just placed them directly on the grates of my grill and turned them over every two minutes until they were slightly charred and fork tender.  They started to get a little wrinkly.  For the green beans I made a nice little foil packet and placed them in the packet with the cherry tomatoes, and cooked them for about 8 minutes, until the beans were slightly softened and the tomatoes were exploding.  This is really an easy dish, with just a little bit of preparation.  This is what my foil packet looked like.  I thought I would show you since my description in the recipe may not be great!

A simple, light side dish made with lemon infused grilled asparagus, beans, tomatoes and parmesan cheese.
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • 8.8 oz. green beans (246 grams)
  • 12 oz asparagus
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 tsp. lemon infused olive oil, divided
  • 1 tsp garlic, minced
  • aluminium foil
  • 1 tsp. Parmesan Cheese
Instructions
  1. Preheat grill to low to medium heat.
  2. In a bowl add green beans and tomatoes. Add ½ tsp. olive oil and garlic, mix well. NOTE: if you do not have lemon infused olive oil, just sprinkle vegetables with a pinch of lemon juice and olive oil. You'll want to add the lemon flavor.
  3. Create a foil packet, Use two square sheets of aluminium foil big enough to hold the vegetables, plus a little room to move. Place the beans and tomatoes in the center of one sheet, Place the other sheet over top of the vegetables and fold the edges together so the vegetables are sealed in. it will look like a big square.
  4. In the same bowl your vegetables were in, add asparagus and brush with remaining olive oil. I used my hands to rub the olive oil over the asparagus.
  5. Place the foil packet with vegetables over low heat, turning frequently. Cook for about 5 - 8 minutes; or until vegetables are tender. Take packet off grill and set a side.
  6. To cook asparagus, place directly onto grill grates over low heat, turning every two minutes until tender and they slightly start to wrinkle. Be sure not to burn them. About 5 minutes.
  7. After the asparagus are cooked, cut them into bite size pieces (I used my kitchen scissors) and place in a bowl with the cooked green beans and tomato mixture; give a little mix and top with some Parmesan cheese.

Grilled Asparagus with Green Beans and Roasted Tomatoes

I just love grilling season!  I served this dish with roasted BBQ chicken.  It was so good!  As I am sitting here at my kitchen table and looking out my window the grill is sitting there, staring back at me!  I’m thinking roasted corn on the cob for dinner tonight!  I will say it again, I LOVE grilling season!

Have a great day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    Haha, I know those cranky-too-hungry moods all too well! Sometimes I’ll be scrolling through recipes and food blogs, just making myself even hungrier and being too lazy to actually do anything about it.
    I love grilled vegetables- and asparagus is so nice this time of year!

My patio area is kind  of an awkward space because we used to have a large pool that we took out a few years ago. We built our space around the pool. So we have lots of odd corners, but it works for us. I really like my backyard.

I went with light cool colors for my backyard space because of the heat and sun. I have always loved the coastal look. I do love to add a pop of color with flowers. Give me all the flowers! 

I hope you check out everyone’s outdoor space. I love this time of year and I can always use more outdoor inspiration.

Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreat Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreations made a gorgeous DIY Tabletop Firepit and I had to run out and got all the pieces to make one of my own. Kelly’s is so gorgeous and fun. Perfect for evenings outside.
🩵
However, when I started to make mine I realized that my dogs are to interested in it, as you can see from the video. I was afraid they would try to get close to the fire and burn themselves. So I came up with another idea, where I could get the same effect without the fire.
🩵
A couple weeks ago my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs shared some solar candles that I thought were pretty, and would be great to use on my table. I’m a sucker for anything solar. 😂 So of course I ordered some. I decided to use the solar candles in my pot in place of the tiki fire. I think it turned out great. I just need to add a few more rocks to it, which I’ll get this weekend.
🩵
Be sure to check out Kelly @farmtotablecreations to see her firepit and also check out how Claire @huntersridge_designs styled her solar candles. Both of there accounts are inspiring.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working outside that I have not worked on decorating my dining room for Mother’s Day or Spring. It’s a bare slate as of right now. So I thought I would share with you last years tablescape that I did for Mother’s Day.
💗
This Mother’s Day,(Saturday) little Jenny is taking me to the @gratoncasino to get a pedicure and possibly lounge at the pool, if it is warm enough outside. Then we will go for a nice lunch. I can’t wait. Sunday, I’ll spend Mother’s Day with the boys. 🐶🐶
💗
Hope you have a fabulous day!!

Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend in between the rain and cold. It was pretty chilly to me. I did get some plants planted and my husband added a new drip line in my big garden. Hopefully my flowers will thrive better this year. 
🌷
On Friday, I watched 3 episodes of Firefly Lane on Netflix. If you like girl type series, I highly recommend. It’s so well written. It’s about best friends growing older together. Unfortunately this is the last of the series. I’ll miss it. I also read that Yellowstone will come back in November and that will be the end of the series. I’ll miss that show. At least I have Virgin River to look forward too. My husband likes Virgin River too.
🌷
Anyway, here is a view of my clean kitchen. I put together this little vignette for Mother’s Day inspiration. I love the Italian Soda from Trader Joe’s, but boy does it give me bad heartburn. I always just drink a little. Actually, anything sparkling, except regular soda, gives me heartburn. So strange. 
🌷
Have a great week!

Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturd Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturday in forever. Today we are getting rain again. Last week it was 90 and sunny and now back to the 60’s, but we are going to hit 90 by next weekend. I can’t wait. I’m over this wacky weather we are having. 
💙
I took down my Easter decor a few weeks ago and went back to using blues and greens in the living room. I think the colors look fresh and clean. Once the weather gets nicer, I’ll start to add in some yellows. I love yellow for the summer.
💙
Next weekend is Mother’s Day. Do you have any plans for the holiday?
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you how I styled @myclaireburke pieces that I received. Let me tell you I love Claire Burke. I have been using there products for more than 25 years.
💗
In my 20’s, I used to go to Macy’s with my mom and in the bedding department they had a section of Claire Burke. I always bought there Original Scent potpourri. It smells like spring flowers with roses and lavender and it’s also beautiful to look at.
💗
If you are looking for a Mother’s Day gift, I highly recommend. I love the Original scent, if you like a floral scent. If you are more for fresh clean scent, the Sea Salt and Grapefruit is amazing. If you like fresh linen I recommend Wild Cotton. I promise they won’t disappoint. Oh and the Electric Fragrance Warmer is also Claire Burke. Works fabulous! 
💗
My Claire Burke ships fast too! They were kind enough to give my followers a 20% discount code: PBANDP.
💗
Have a beautiful day!!

Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to g Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to get outside and work on my patio space, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy it this week. We are back to winter temps, high winds and rain. They are calling it “May Gray”. Such weird weather this year. 
🌼
I was able to put out my new rug that you all helped me to pick out. I just love the blue. I decided to go with blues and yellows for my outdoor space. I think the yellow brightens up the space. I just need to get more flowers because after all you can never have too many flowers. 
🌼
I wanted to also share with you my new side table from @vicllax_outdoor. I love the white color. It really helps to brighten this space. The table is made of metal, comes in 4 colors and is easy to put together. This table is perfect for a small space too. I couldn’t be happier. 
🌼
Have you setup your patio space yet?

Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather. Sunny, light breeze and in the 70’s. I did a lot of yard clean-up. I just need some dirt and my raised beds will be ready for planting.
🌼
I planned on working on the patio area, but time just went to fast. My husband repaired the trellis that fell over from the wind. We had the Morning Glory on it, but we got rid of it because it is highly toxic to dogs. I ordered a climbing rose from Heirloom Roses that will be delivered next week. 
🌼
I’m sharing with you the Beverage Tub that I bought from Target that I am using as a planter. My husband drilled 1/4” holes 4” apart on the metal insert.  I added a pot to the tub to give the flowers a lift. The handles on the tub are not bendable and I didn’t want to break the flowers and I wanted it to be easier to lift the flowers out, if I decide to change the flowers.
🌼
I love the look! Once I work on the patio area, I’ll move the table and flowers to the patio area. So excited to be working outside. Have a beautiful day!

Happy Wednesday! I am sharing with you my garden f Happy Wednesday! I am sharing with you my garden from last year. I’m gearing myself up to start working in the garden this weekend. It’s supposed to be mid 70’s. So if all goes planned you will be seeing quite a few gardening posts. 
🌺
Last years extreme summer heat took a major toll on my garden. I lost quite a few plants. 😫 For some reason I lost my Butterfly Bush. I plan on adding another one in the same spot. A lot of my lower flowers like Hummingbird Mint and my Coneflowers didn’t survive. We will be looking at the sprinkler system to make sure the plants are getting enough water. 
🌺
At least this garden is mainly annuals, so it should fill up with some color soon. I’m unsure what to do with my other gardens as my dogs have destroyed them. They keep on digging in the dirt. Maybe I should get them a sandbox to play in?
🌺
Have you started to work in your garden?

🐾
The boys will do anything to get on the bed, especially when you put on the @downlitebedding. I know you have heard me say it before, but they love there Downlite Bedding comforters and pillows. I have never seen 2 dogs get so excited.
🐾
We are all cozied up with the new Renew Comforter. It’s so soft and fluffy and not super heavy which is great for Spring weather. The comforter is 100% organic, 300 thread count with Lockshift baffle box construction and is machine washable!!
